Work smarter – not harder – with the right small business management software
Managing the myriad of tasks involved in running a small business can often seem overwhelming. While growing your business is a top priority, gaining more customers inevitably means a busier schedule and a more demanding workload. Small business management software can help, but many solutions have a steep learning curve and are hard to integrate with your existing technology and workflows. The best small business solutions provide technology that simplifies your workload, rather than adding complexity to your day.
Thryv can help. As a do-it-all small business management platform, we offer comprehensive and simple-to-use tools you can access anywhere, on any device. With Thryv, you can get more done in less time while managing and growing your business more easily.
Essentials of small business management software
When considering options for small business management software, there are several capabilities that are essential to working more efficiently.
Online appointment booking
Booking appointments by phone can eat up hours of employees’ time each day. Online appointment booking solutions let customers schedule their own appointments at convenient times and receive automated appointment reminders that help cut down on no-shows.
Streamlined invoicing and payment
Invoicing customers and collecting payment is essential for cash flow, but for many business owners it’s a tedious task that can easily be overlooked. Solutions for online invoicing can streamline work and help you stay on top of invoicing tasks. Flexible payments solutions let customers pay any way they want – with credit cards or ACH transfers, for example. By streamlining invoicing and offering more ways to pay, you’ll spend less time chasing down payments and more time providing high-quality service.
Customer relationship management
Managing all your customer information is a never-ending task – and potentially one of the most time-consuming. As your business grows, handwritten notes and spreadsheets become unwieldy quickly, wasting precious time and adding unnecessary headaches. With the right customer relationship management (CRM) software, you can easily track customers, capture insights about their preferences, automate communication and deliver better experiences that lead to repeat business.
Social media tools
Social media is an indispensable marketing tool that can attract new business, promote products and services and keep your business in front of customers. With all the tasks involved in running your business, however, it can be hard to carve out time to create social posts and build effective campaigns. The right business management software can automate these tasks, scheduling posts and building campaigns in advance while monitoring KPIs to see what’s working and what’s not.
Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile is the up-to-date content about your business that customers see on Google – but only when your listing is complete and accurate. Superior business management software can automatically manage your business on Google Business Profile – plus update online listings on dozens of other websites – to ensure your online presence is optimized and up to date.
Automated communication
Communicating with customers is essential but time-consuming – especially when every customer has a different preference for how they would like to be reached. Software that streamlines customer communication can make life easier by automatically sending messages, appointment reminders and requests for reviews through email, SMS text, social media or phone.
Review management
There are lots of places where your customers may leave a review detailing their positive experiences with your company – or any issues they might have. Responding to negative comments is essential for winning back customers and maintaining your business reputation. But manually searching for and replying to reviews is a chore. With the right review management software, you can automate these tasks, promoting stronger client relationships while maintaining a professional presence.
